Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

My doctor has recommended Evenity for my osteoporosis.

Due to other health issues, I am not able to take the medicine in a pill form.

Would love to know how others have done with the medicine.

Thank you

I’ve had five injections so far. I think I’m tired the day, after but thats my only issue.

Have not started the drug yet but have read so many negative reviews, I am torn.
Hearing a positive review is encouraging.

I just had my 7th injection with no issues 🙂

@255anny, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. @bbones2023 also recently shared their concerns with the side effects of starting Evenity as well and @natgma shared they are on their 7th injection with no side effects yet. Knowing who will and who won't experience side effects is such a hard thing to determine as we all process medications differently.

How did you do with side effects while on Forteo?

I did well on Forteo, very minor side effects. Some bone pain off and on. In the first few months of starting it, I had fatigue that really sidelined me, but that was only for a day or 2. Overall, it was fine. I just wish I would have experienced some gains.

My Dr wants me to take Evinity. Dr McCormick wanted me to start with Forteo, but my endo said that prior radiation therapy is contraindicated. She said it can maybe cause bone cancer. Evinity doesn't, it can cause other health issues. I will try it.

I have been on Evenity for 5 month and the only thing sometimes my neck gets a little sore, which the nurse told me she has heard that before..besides that it’s been going good..
I was so reluctant to take it at first until I found this group page and reading what other people have said about it so I went ahead and did it..

I was reluctant to take Evenity also and read this for awhile about it. I have had 3 months of Evenity and no side effects so far.

I was also reluctant to take Evenity and now I am 3 months in with no real side effects except feeling tired a week or so after my injection.
